This is a revision of an important series of 
chiefly Pacific Pyramidellide, partly belong- 
ing to the National Museum and partly loaned 
for study by the Kénigliche Zoologische Mu- 
seum of Berlin, Germany. Ten plates of 
magnified figures illustrate these difficult 
little shells. Nisiturris, Babella, Egilina are 
proposed as new subgenera. The following 
species are described as new: Odostomia mau- 
ritiana, O. meta, O. dux, O. lecta, O. exaratis- 
sima, O. felix, O. lectissima, O. culta, O. limpida, 
O. desimana, O. densecostata (Garrett), subsp. 
upoluensis ; Pyramidella jacksonensis, P. japon- 
ica, P. digitalis, P. lischkei, Turbonilla abseida, 
T. approximata, T. acosmia, T. actopora, T. 
infantula, T. laticingula, T. bella, T. (nisitur- 
ris) crystallina; the following new names are 
proposed for species of which the current 
names are preoccupied: Turbonilla secura, 
T. candidissima, T. aulica, T. (Babella) cexl- 
atior, T. garrettiana; Odostomia martensi; Py- 
ramidella moffati. P. dunkeri; and forty-one 
species named by other authors are dis- 
cussed and adequately described, many of 
them, especially those of A. Adams, for the 
first time properly described and figured.
